Israeli strike kills at least two Palestinians in southern Gaza, health officials say
Health officials reported at least two Palestinian deaths in an Israeli strike on Monday, after medics said an airstrike killed three people near Khan Younis late Sunday.
Khan Younis, Palestine. At least two Palestinians died in an Israeli strike in southern Gaza on Monday, according to health officials. Israel’s military said a militant was the target but provided no further details.
Deadly strikes in southern Gaza
Medics reported that three people were killed late Sunday when an Israeli airstrike struck a tent in Mawasi, an area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Speaking to Reuters on Monday, the Israeli military said militants in that area had been targeted.
The strikes come amid an increase in Israeli attacks against Hamas over recent weeks. Israel says the group has violated the ceasefire by replenishing its weapons and carrying out attacks.
Hamas denies attempting attacks or rebuilding its weapons stocks. It accuses Israel of damaging the peace agreement for Gaza.
Limited progress on ceasefire implementation
The Gaza ceasefire brokered by the United States last year provides for the territory’s eventual reconstruction. However, implementation of the agreement intended to end the conflict has advanced little. Its terms include Hamas giving up its weapons and Israel pulling out its troops.
According to Gaza health officials, Israeli fire has killed at least 1,400 Palestinians since the ceasefire began in October 2025. Israel says militants in Gaza have killed four Israeli soldiers during that period.
